Industry outlook Indian auto component industry grew at a compounded annual growth rate (CAGR) of 13% during 2007-12.CARE Research foresees healthy top-line growth for the Indian auto component industry in the next five years. While the domestic sales are expected to grow at a CAGR of 11% from 2012-21, exports are expected to witness a higher CAGR of 17% during the same period. India is fast becoming a sourcing destination for global auto companies due to large-scale availability of technically skilled manpower, lower cost of manufacturing, reasonable infrastructure and quality assurance. As per industry estimates, out of the total turnover of the Indian auto components manufacturers, around 60% is derived from sales to domestic original equipment manufacturers (OEMs), around 25% comes from sales to the domestic replacement market and around 15% is derived from exports. With sluggish volume growth for domestic OEMs in 2011-12, translated into muted revenue growth for the auto components industry during this period; the sluggishness was partly offset by the rise in component exports and higher domestic replacement market sales. While the long-term prospects for the industry remain strong in line with the outlook for the OEM segment, the industry faces strong challenges in the form of threat of low -cost imports and currency volatility. In the times ahead, with immense opportunity for volume growth but with pressure on the margin front, the component manufacturers ability to invest on product development to be able to move up the value chain, improvise quality and productivity, minimize defects, cut down costs, gear up to meet the additional demand and maximize returns would be important parameters for their profitability. 2 Initiative of the BSE Investors Protection Fund
